Despite the Supreme Court’s prohibition of race use in college admissions, U.S. District Court Judge Richard D. Bennett ruled that the U.S. Naval Academy can continue to use race and ethnicity in admissions decisions. The author disagrees with Bennett’s ruling, arguing that the Trump administration will likely prohibit military service academies from using race in admissions. The author also criticizes Bennett’s dismissal of the plaintiff’s witnesses and his favoring of government witnesses. The author concludes that the Naval Academy should prepare for a potential order from President-elect Trump to stop using race in admissions.
